[ath9k-devel] Problem re-associating with AP

[Amit Sood <as22_2000@yahoo.com>]

Hi Luis,

I'm using 'network manager' with wep enabled. I'll try to disable the encryption and test.
The problem is that in iwconfig I can see the network card associated with the AP however there is no communication. So it means card is scanning the AP but somehow I can not see layer 2 communication i.e. no arp is there.

Even I restart the network nothing happens I've to manually remove and insert the ath9k module. I've another card rt2500 and there is no problem with that card.

Should you need any logs or information to analyse then let me know.

Kind Regards,

Amit Sood

Are you using wpa_supplicant? Are you using Network Manager? Note that
wpa_supplicant would be required to force reassociation, and I believe
the option to roam is ap_scan=1, so try that, even if you are
associated to an AP without encryption.
